Guidelines, schemes, models and reviews

The AER has released proposed amendments to its electricity transmission post-tax revenue model.

The Network Visibility project seeks to optimise the benefits of CER (Consumer Energy Resources) and network assets for all customers.

The Networks Information Requirements Review is about driving improvements in the quality of the information about regulated networks that we use and share.

The intent of the annual updates is to provide stakeholders with information on rate of return data changes since the publication of the most recent Instrument.

The AER published a Directions Paper on Social licence for electricity transmission projects.

On 28 September 2023, the AER published guidance on the amended national energy objectives. This guidance is supported by an explanatory statement.

The Export service incentive scheme allows DNSPs to propose bespoke incentives related to export services based on their network circumstances, customer preferences and evidence-based performance data.

The AER has reviewed and refined its incentive schemes and guidelines that apply to regulated electricity and gas networks.

The AER has been consulting on its approach to incentivising and measuring export service performance.

The Rate of Return Instrument (the Instrument) sets out the approach by which we will estimate the rate of return, and comprises the return on debt and the return on equity, as well as the value of imputation credits. We publish a new Instrument every 4 years that will bind all regulatory determinations in the subsequent 4 years.
